Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

In situ and ex situ decomposition experiments were conducted with Phragmites australis stems. In a freshwater tidal marsh, litterbags were incubated at different elevations and in both winter and summer. No significant difference in biogenic Si dissolution at different tidal heights was observed. Both in winter and summer, biogenic Si concentrations decreased according to a double exponential decay model in the litterbags (from ca. 60 mg g-I to ca. 15 mg g-I after 133 days). Si was removed much faster from the incubated plant material compared to Nand C, resulting in steadily decreasing Si/N (from 7 to 2) and Si/C ratio's (from 0.15 to 0.03) in the litterbags in both winter and summer. Ex situ, decomposition experiments were conducted in Scheldt water, treated with a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and compared to results from untreated incubations. The bacterial influence on the dissolution of dissolved Si from stems was only minor: the rate constant for dissolved Si dissolution decreased from 0.004 h-I to 0.003 h-I, but eventual amount of BSi dissolved and saturation concentration in the incubation environment were similar in both untreated and treated experiments.Phragmites australis enhances dissolved Si recycling capacity of tidal marshes: in reed-dominated freshwater tidal marshes, more than 40% of DSi export was observed to be attributed to reed decomposition
